injector o rings
in this what an injector oring leak looks like. i pulled the driver side VC i saw this drip between the valves on the front injector it is the only one that was driping like this. sorry but it takes me a sec or to to get the camera zeroed in but twards the end of the vid you can see it.

in your first video, you can see the rpm's increase and then drop back down for a split second, my truck does that too, exactly like yours. Is the o-ring leak what causes the idle to change like that?

i think in the other videos in the "my truck is sick" thread it was a loose 14k mod connection causing that problem. it is not doing that anymore. now its just missing and has sort of a stutter if i rev it.

i am not convinced yet that the spittin o-ring is the only problem. on 1 dead cylinder it should still run better than that. maybe the other o-rings are leaking too and just not the top ring is split? time will tell. keep us posted
